Well, "bringing in" is a minor point. Actually he made me implement it.

Sure there was no credit for me, but also not for anybody else
who worked on stuff. Despite Sam, there was no reviewer which
had some relevance to me concerning Stackless. That's what I meant
with "ignorance": talking about stuff without consulting the
people who have the knowledge.
Also (and this happens often), Greenlets were honored as a solution
that does not need deep interpreter changes. This is true, but actually
greenlets are a spin-off of Stackless with exactly that in mind, using
technology from Stackless.
If Stackless would not do the interpreter changes, it would just
switch 10 times slower, as Greenlet does.
I was missing some more detail about these things, considered it
sloppy. The comparison suggests "better", the truth is "different".
well, calming down - chris
